Co- President - Suruchi Keenheel

This is my second year serving as Co-President of the PTO Executive Board. I have a rising third grader at Chestnutwold, as well as an almost-five-year-old. I've spent my entire career in the field of education, as a special educator, assistant principal, and professional developer. I currently train/coach school and system leaders in educational equity and the science of reading. I look forward to continuing to learn from and contribute to the Chestnutwold community!

 Co- President - Alex Reed

This is my first year serving as Co-President of the PTO Executive Board. I currently have a child in fourth grade and one in first grade. I have a previous career in marketing, advertising and branding. I took time off to be home full-time with the kids, and have recently returned to part-time work serving various roles in Aquatics. In the past, I have chaired Phoenix Fun Day and Run Club, as well as been a homeroom helper and a regular volunteer for PTO events. I love the Chestnutwold community, and all that we are able to offer - I look forward to contributing to and continuing the great work of the PTO.

 Vice President of Clubs- Casey Sacchetti

This is my third year on the PTO executive board. I previously served two years as Treasurer and will now serve as Vice President of Clubs. I have 3 children - Kennedy is in fourth grade and twins, Cameron and Carter, are in first grade. Prior to staying home with my children, I taught and was a reading specialist at the elementary level. I love being a part of the Chestnutwold community and am excited to continue to support our amazing school!

 Vice President of In School Activities - Lauren Weintraub

My family and I relocated from Brooklyn in August 2023.  My son will be in the fourth grade during the 2024-2025 school year. He is not shy at admitting that he likes Pennsylvania better than New York, and even the Phillies better than the Yankees! Thanks to the opportunities provided by Chesnutwold and the PTA, we immediately felt part of this incredible community. We attended the welcome picnic, and I volunteered during Chesnutwold Day and MLK Jr. Day of Service. My son has thrived academically and socially this year. My husband and I have found fellow parents to be friendly and welcoming. With a full time job in Philadelphia, it is challenging to attend every school event. However, by serving on the executive board, I look forward to planning fun and informative in-school events.

Vice President of Events- Jasmine Mazzola

This is my first year serving as Vice President of Events on the PTO board. I have 2 children attending Chestnutwold, Preston in 4th grade and Paige in 2nd. I love being a part of my children's school lives by supporting as a Homeroom Helper or by participating on a committee like Trunk or Treat and Bag Bingo. My kids love the school and I want to help make their school a great experience both during the day and after school hours. I currently supervise special education compliance and interventions for a charter school in Philadelphia. I am excited to join the Chestnutwold PTO!

Co-Treasurer - Cathy Golightly

Hi! This is my second year on the PTO Board serving as Co-Treasurer. I have a 2nd grader at Chestnutwold and a recent graduate in 6th grade at HMS. I currently serve as the coordinator for Art in the Classroom and have volunteered with Art Club, Lego Club and as a homeroom parent in the past. When I'm not volunteering, I work as a technology consultant for nonprofit organizations. I am so grateful for the work the PTO does for our school community and am looking forward to another great year!

Co-Treasurer - Nicolas Biren

This is my first year on the PTO Board serving as Co-Treasurer. Originally from France, my wife Ursula and I moved to the US some 17 years ago and landed in Ardmore in the summer of 2022. I spent all my professional life in investment banking. We have a son in 7th grade at HMS and another in 1st grade at Chestnutwold. The kids, parents, and educators we met here are the #1 reason we’ve decided to stay for good. We simply love this school and the community around it and I’m hoping to help it grow with whatever ability I have…my passion for MS Excel might be it!

Secretary - Lisa Jennings

Hello, this is my second year serving as your Secretary on the PTO Executive Board. I am a stay at home parent of a fourth grade daughter, Sylvie, and a kindergartener, Wesley. Our family has made this neighborhood our home for 15 years and I dearly love this special community. My prior career was spent in fashion merchandising/buying until I made the decision to stay home with the littles. I love connecting and learning from other parents while serving as a member of the Chestnutwold PTO.
